Lin Miao lowered her head and kept apologizing to Fang Mu.

“Sorry, President Fang. I clearly checked the information last night. I was certain that the documents had no issues. Someone must have tampered with this USB flash drive.” Her tone was calm, and her logic was clear. She did not seem to be lying.

Fang Mu also knew that Lin Miao did not do it.

He also believed that Hu Yao was not the one behind this trouble; she didn’t have the ability to do this, and nor was she so stupid. That left only one person who could direct this scene.

Qiao Jiuyin!

Fang Mu suppressed his anger and walked out of the meeting room. He was about to go home to talk to Qiao Jiuyin when he was stopped by Fang Pingjue, who had been waiting outside.

“Fang Mu, come with me.” Fang Pingjue’s expression was ugly.

Fang Mu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and followed Fang Pingjue into his president’s office.

Fang Pingjue sat while Fang Mu stood, enduring Fang Pingjue’s cold gaze.

“I don’t care how messy your private life is or how many lovers you have outside. However, you’re not a child. You should know your limits. What happened today will not happen again.” After Fang Pingjue finished speaking, he heard Fang Mu lightly acknowledge.

Fang Pingjie continued, “Fang Mu, you’ve always been a child I value very much. However, you should know that you’re not the only heir I have. Although your big brother can’t take over this company because of his crippled eyes, you still have a younger brother…”

At this point, Fang Pingjue became silent.

He believed Fang Mu understood what he meant.

Fang Mu indeed understood what he meant.

He coldly said that he understood and turned to leave.

After leaving the president’s office, Fang Mu calmly walked back to his vice president’s office. He entered the office. and the door behind him closed. He took the opportunity to take off the dart on the wall and suddenly threw it out, hitting the bullseye on the other wall.

Fang Mu stared at the target as if he were staring at Fang Pingjue’s face.

“Old thing, do you think you’re still young?” He cynically smiled and could not help but pull his tie.

Fang Mu hated being ordered around the most. Even if the person ordering him was his father.

That photo had appeared in not only the conference room but also the company’s employee group chat. During the lunch break, the employees had been joking around in the group. As they had been chatting, a rarely-seen employee had suddenly sent a photo in the group chat. It was a photo of Fang Mu and Hu Yao kissing.

The photo was deleted within a few seconds.

However, this time was enough for people with sharp eyes and agile hands to save the photo and privately pass it around.

After confirming that Fang Mu would definitely come back tonight, Qiao Jiuyin instructed the nanny to make a huge table of dishes.

When Fang Mu returned home, Qiao Jiuyin was sitting at the dining table. She had already poured some wine and was waiting for him.

Seeing him return, Qiao Jiuyin forced a smile.

If something had not happened today, would he have returned home?

I still have to thank Hu Yao for creating an opportunity for us to meet, right?

Laughing at herself, Qiao Jiuyin shook the wine glass in her hand at Fang Mu. “Brother Mu, come over quickly. The food is ready. I’m just waiting for you.” She had worn a red dress and looked gorgeous. At first glance, it looked like Qiao Jiusheng was sitting there.

Fang Mu stared at her for a few seconds.

The infatuation in his eyes was quickly replaced by disgust.

He strode to the dining table and took the wine glass from Qiao Jiuyin.

Fang Mu shook his wine glass and stared at the woman on the other end through the purple-red wine. His thin lips curled into a cold smile. Fang Mu said, “Qiao Jiuyin, you don’t deserve to wear such a bright color.” She was not worthy of being compared to Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiuyin’s expression froze, and her eyes turned cold.

“Brother Mu, we only met four times this month.” Qiao Jiuyin stared at Fang Mu’s face with a pained expression. “I miss you very much.”

Fang Mu frowned and remained silent.

“I went to see Hu Yao.” When Qiao Jiuyin saw Fang Mu remain unmoved, she became certain that he did not have any feelings for Hu Yao. She confusedly asked him, “I’m more like Xiao Sheng than she is. Why would you rather find a lowly Xiao Sheng than look at me?”

Qiao Jiuyin gently caressed his face. With a puzzled expression, she said, “I clearly love you more than Hu Yao and even more than Xiao Sheng. Why won’t you accept me?” She could not figure it out.

Fang Mu looked at her like she were trash.

“Because you’re Qiao Jiuyin.”

She was Qiao Jiusheng’s only sister.

She should have been the person who loved Xiao Sheng the most in the world, but in the end, she had done the worst thing to Xiao Sheng.

1

Fang Mu even wanted to kill Qiao Jiuyin sometimes. If she were not Xiao Sheng’s sister, he would’ve done so countless times. However, he could not do that. He knew how much Xiao Sheng valued her family. If he really killed Qiao Jiuyin, Xiao Sheng would never forgive him.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng was stunned. A smile then appeared on her face.

Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, even if you’re really dead, I can’t replace you. He would rather find thousands of people like you than make do with me.

Staring at the miserable smile on Qiao Jiuyin’s lips, Fang Mu calmly asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“If Xiao Sheng is not dead—” Qiao Jiuyin had just gotten up when she saw Fang Mu’s eyes suddenly widen; she shut up again.

She definitely could not let Fang Mu know that Qiao Jiusheng was still alive.

“Brother Mu, cut it off with that woman.” She had put on lipstick today and meticulously dressed up. When she smiled, she looked like a demon with its bloody mouth wide open. “You know that I do foolish things when I’m angry.”

Fang Mu did not take her threat seriously.

“You wouldn’t do that,” he said with conviction.

Qiao Jiuyin was a smart person. She did not have the courage to break up with him. She would not indiscriminately destroy their relationship and cause both parties to suffer losses.

How could she destroy everything she had obtained with her own hands?
